No purpose served by opening Mill Lane to Fellowes Road - there is appropriate access already.
This proposed development is speculative and profiteering.

I totally object to this proposed development. Honingham has no services, no shops, no school, no bus, no doctors, and previous single appropriate requests have been refused as "outside village envelope"! Suddenly this seems to be irrelevant? There is no point to access Fellowes Road from Mill Lane - which is an unadopted public bridleway barely wide enough for 1 car. There are private gardens either side and a very old and substantial historice flint wall to one side. The ground drops down to the river Tud and drains through private land which is already saturated most of the year. The development would increase the flood risk to the existing houses and businesses. It is not needed or wanted and will ruin the nature of this village.
